Certification of a component part of a formal qualification
In higher education a microdegree, microcredential or microcourse is a qualification focused upon a specified professional or career discipline and typically comprises one or more sources of accelerated educational experiences. Microdegrees are a single manifestation of Competency Based Education (CBE) which seeks to tie credentialing to specific skill sets. Micro-credentials may be completed on-site, online or in a blended format. Wikipedia →
